Alkali feldspar
granites represent one of the major sources that provide raw materials for
glass and ceramics
industry because of their high feldspar and quartz contents. In addition, also
alkali feldspar syenites have potential to become raw material due to their
high feldspar and feldspathoid contents. For this reason, alkali feldspar
granites within Ağaçören Intrusive Suite (AIS) (Kalebalta, Yıldırımlı, Çerkezuşağı,
Çatalçeşme, İbrahimbeyli, Deliler, Ekecik, Sipahiler, Camili, Yaylak,
Namlıkışla), Hacılı Suite (Sarıhacılı), Cefalık, Behrekdağ, Terlemez and alkali
feldspar syenites within Bayındır, Hamit and İdişdağı Suites are investigated.
This study aims to investigate possible potential of alkali feldspar, plagioclase
and quartz minerals within these rocks in glass and ceramic industry as raw
materials. These rocks have high alkaline element content and relatively high
Fe2O3 values compared to world granites. Fe2O3
values depend on mafi c and independent Fe minerals such as magnetite.
Feldspars have high K2O (> %14) and low FeO (< %0.05), thus
have high feldspar potential in ceramic industry. Alkali feldspar granites
within AIS have promising potential as feldspar raw material, they have low
reserve due to their occurrence as dykes. Hacılı, Cefalık, Behrekdağ, Terlemez,
Bayındır, Hamit and İdişdağı Suites have both good quality and high reserve for
feldspar potential.
